Compensation and rewards are important parts of the conversation about human capital, but they're not everything. During this time of COVID, remote work, and the massive attrition rate dubbed as the “Great Resignation,” it's important to understand that money can only get you so far. What gets people to stay more nowadays is great leadership in all aspects. Few people understand this better than Forcepoint CHRO Laurie O'Brien, who found herself being the most senior people leader in a massive organization during an unprecedented crisis. There was no playbook for Laurie during this pivotal time and she had to muster all her leadership powers to get the organization through. There is a wealth of leadership lessons to be learned from Laurie's experience and we are lucky she shares some of them now with George Randle on the show. Tune in and get some fresh perspectives on how HR leadership has fundamentally changed and what changes it still has to expect moving forward.

In our modern business landscape, the war for talent is more complex than ever. You need to attract and retain the best talent for your organization to win, but without the right strategy or mindset, you won’t be able to compete. If your revenue is declining, you’re losing market share to your competition, or your organizational health is deteriorating, it’s time to evolve how you approach this never-ending war. After all, your PEOPLE—not your product or service—are your strongest competitive advantage. The Talent War explores how U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) assess, select, and develop their world-class talent. You’ll learn how to adopt a talent mindset, the single greatest weapon you can possess in the war for talent. When your organization reflects this mindset, you will hire, train, and develop the right people, and put them in the best positions to make decisions that allow you to retake the advantage and win the war. Mike Sarraille is the CEO of EF Overwatch, an executive search and talent advisory firm, and leadership consultant with Echelon Front. He is a former Recon Marine and retired US Navy SEAL officer with twenty years of experience in Special Operations, including the elite Joint Special Operations Command.

What can business organizations learn from the military when it comes to talent management and leadership development? Those who have been in the trenches, leading people through some of the most difficult and risky missions in the world know that people are everything. Mike Sarraille and George Randle are two of the authors of The Talent War, an incredibly insightful work that examines the parallels between the talent management practices of special operations forces and the most successful organizations in the world. Aiming to empower small and medium businesses to achieve excellence every day, Mike and George founded the Talent War Group, a cadre of highly-experienced SOF leaders and business executives who understand the critical importance of human capital management. Listen in as they share some of the principles they talked about in their book as they join Fran Racioppi on this first episode of The Jedburgh Podcast.

In this conversation with George Randle, VP of Global Talent Acquisition at Forcepoint, Strategic Advisor at EF Overwatch, and co-author of "Talent War," we discuss the topic that should be the first item on the agenda of every org-development initiative: talent management. How do you identify the right character attributes required for leadership success? Why do some companies NOT have a CHRO role? How can HR professionals raise their strategic value to the organization? What benefits will the executive team enjoy if they empower the HR team to do what they do best (focus on the people issues)? What are some pros and cons of switching to a "service center" model for the HR function? What makes an executive stand out among other leadership candidates? Why is humility important in the hyper-competitive world of business? George gives us great insights into these questions and more. Tune in for his thoughts on talent management and the strategic importance of HR in every organization. ……………… Links: Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent (paper available November 10, 2020, pre-order now on Amazon): https://amzn.to/3bLwJ6E George Randle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgelrandle/ Forcepoint: https://www.forcepoint.com/ EF Overwatch: https://www.efoverwatch.com/ Jocko Podcast episode 244: https://jockopodcast.com/2020/08/26/244-dont-do-it-alone-how-to-build-a-winning-team-the-talent-war-recruiting-selecting-training-and-mentorship-w-mike-sarraille-and-george-randle/ ……………… The views, information, or opinions expressed in this piece are solely those of the individuals in this piece; they do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy or position of any other agency, organization, employer, or company.
